NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Mon Apr 18 2005

I had been working on my homework on and off over the weekend, and finally Sunday I had a good chunk of time that I could really dig in and get some good progress achieved. I had been working on it a couple hours and thought possibly the end was in sight when the kids started in with the bickering and typical arguments and fights. I still tried to work on my program, but I was definitely distracted, having to get up every couple minutes to go separate the boys or help resolve a conflict.

That is how I accidentally deleted more than half of the work I had done. More than a weeks worth of work, down the drain. My howls of my frustration and horror resonated off the walls startling flocks of birds, frightening young children and deafening an Irish Setter in the next county.

I had to step away from my program. Slowly backing away from it, I decided maybe it was time to get as far away from the computer as possible for a while. Of course I only went to the next room, but still it was away from the computer.

I’m going to try putting everything back together this morning that I accidentally deleted yesterday. I will need much more caffeine in me before I do this, but do it I must. With luck, by the time I go to class tomorrow night I will have everything re-created. Cross your fingers for me.

I’m going to go back to hitting my head against the wall for a while now, at least until all the kids are off to school.

    Ummmmm, does it have to be the garage? Worms live in the ground.... especially nice "cooking" areas where decompostition is making some extra heat. Outdoors should work just fine.... More research!

    Oh.. I feel for you. Loosing all that work. I have done it.
    I hate it.. and really I am so sorry !
    The worms
    I hate worms.. I hate snakes. I don't like slim.. or that kind of creepy slimey creatures. They can live, but I don't want to touch them, see them or smell them
    Oh no.....
    You can compost using your degradable garbage and raked up leaves. Put in compost can.. black and lid on tight.
    or you can dig it in earth and use as path. Walk on it to compost.. But you must walk on it alot

    Good that you are doing that..
    I wish it were as easy to get rid and use plastics

    Recycling makes sense, but plastic..? just sick stuff... and hardly anyone uses glass or medal anymore.. It is all plastic..
    I don't like it.
    Oh I am just bitter today
    grumpy granny me
    ;(
